I—l 1 —1 - • " < E jOENTKE FP'tJEtIET*...... Editor. Centre Ball, Pa., 9, Mar IM6 ? RfiMS.—f'lpcr y ear, in munication is most fitly treated with conternptous silence. The brass band at West Point is an expensi\o article—the radical congress of late years has been appropriating $14.- 000 per year for keeping up this wind concern. Such a sum of money to one band should secure fine music for the dear little West Point cadets, and with a couple of coppers from their manias to buy taffy and mint stick with, these soger boys undoubtedly will have their desires gratified. But the cadetties may feel a little down in the gills when they learn that a democratic house away off at Washington proposes to cut down their allowance for music from $14,000 to $2,500, and the chaps who do the blowing for the cadets may think that the wind is abont to be knocked out of them. The Reporter scarcely knows what consolation to offer the West Pointers —perhaps it might satisfy them to have Babcock and a few more of the crooked whisky ring detailed to go down occasionally and whistle Yankee Doo dle and Hail Columbia from the top-rail of the nearest fence for the edification of the cadets with an increase of taffy ra tions. This might reconcile our future military chieftains to the rutting down of brass band music to the sweet strains of which they dance so nicely, Uncle Sam paying the snug little sum of $14,- 000 to the piper. We have a batch of genuine continen tal money in our possession which is now just one hundred years old—having been issued in 1776, and is not among the least of curiosities of the centennial year. This money of 100 years ago does not present the handsome appearance of the greenbacks of to-day, but as it carries us back to the "times that tried men's souls" we guard it with the same jealous care with which our forefather* guarded their liberties. We hold nine teen of these revolutionary "shinplas ters," the denominations ranging from "One third of a dollar," up to "Sixtv-five Dollars," amounting in all to the sum of $316 92. In a partnership case decided in the Philadelphia court of common pleas, a former partner was held liable for a debt contracted after its dissolution, the judge charging that in cases of dissolu tion of copartnerships there should be a personal notice of the fact to all persons writh whom the firm had been dealing, and a public notice in the paper, to re lieve responsible parties from res|>onsi bility. In last week's Kepoiter we mentioned a similar decision by a Huntingdon and in which case a United Br. preacher suffered heavily because of a failure to publish the usual dissolution notice. The line between Harris and the new township of College does not seeui to l>e satisfactory to some of the citizens and they are agitating a new line which would threw two school districts from College into Harris. In Galena, 111., Grant's home, they do not seem to be over head and ears in love with their whilom townsman. A dispatch dated Galena, Feb. 28, says : In the Mardi Gras procession here to day Grant was represented smoking on the back seat of a fine carriage. Bab cock was by his side, and a bull pup was on the front seat. The coachman and foot man were respectable looking colored men in livery. The senate committee on civil service reported a hill in favor of fixing the president's salary at $25,000 per annum after March 4,1877. This leaves Grant's double salary to the end of his present term as the salary of the chief magis trate cannot be decreased during his term of office. If Grant were not actua ted by greed he would refuse to draw the $25,000 additional that was heaped upon his pay by the salary grab bill. He will not only take it all but would grab more if it could possibly be piled on. Ths court of claims ha* decided against toe Chropenning claim And WW intWtrtraitf Urfcun irfll & dfck.

But it is the truth,and as such it is well that it came to light, it may serve a- a warnii to men in high places in the ftilui- M > do not think that Belknap is the only one in the business of fanning out o. ti.es to the highest holder, we littnly b. lteve that few ofheadsofthedopartmen at Washington aic clear ot the -an< eritne. Others may luiv.- coveted the.i tracks more Muvesafttlly than lielko. p or may know how to manage witness es so as to arrrii themselves, but it i a notorious fact that . rrupt; u m evcty department of the g vctamcnt from iiia.it on down. 1 lie crooked wlitskv ring had its ramit,.atu - in tl.i whiteshoiise, and it took the iti. . unity of the w kitCshou.se ring to prevent Bab cook from being proven guilty while they v\. re unable t.i prof. his inn. - ceuce, But with Belknap the bolt came swift and sine. It was a painful duty or Mr. Civ over, the head otfUu .-minnt tee of investigation, to perform but as an honest man ami a democrat, he eonld not neither did he wish to -link it. In other column of the Reporter we print further parUctucrfU pf Belknap's .•wse. "Some lvmo.ratic Vulcan will have to forge a new eanq aign thunderbolt to take tin* place of the one which the par v has failed u> realize out of the Bab cock trial." Thussaitli the Williamsport Bulletin, a Grant organ, before it heard of the Belknap thunderbolt. Monder whether the Belknap affair will fill the Bulletin s bill. The Bulletin sava in the same ar ticle, "It would, however, have Uccti very severe for the party had the private -ec retary ami personal friend ot a Republi can President t>eeu wnviotol of conspi racy against the government." In Belknap "a personal friend of a Republican president,and lin> cabinet officer has Weu convicted of conspiracy against the government, " and by the Bul letin's logic, this will Ik* "severe for the party." The Belletiu crowed too soon over Babcock's not proving hitu.-cll in nocent, and it will find some more "per sonal friends of a Be publican President getting into trouble before the dem >• cratic house gets through with it- iuves tigatious. There seems to boa question wheth er Belknap run be iui|eaehed, since he is no longer in office—Grant having hur riedly accepted his resignation in orvler to save him from the penalty iff disqual ification forever to hold office. No doubt a number of the administration party in the senate will argue against the consti tutionality of a trial by impeachment f r the above reason. Grant saved Babe ck and by his hasty acceptance pf Belknap's resignation may liave saved his rasctflly cabinet officer from the penalties which belong to him on account of his crimes. In the state senate on 3, the follow ing bills passed : An act to protect tiie people of the Commonwealth against incompetent practitioners of medicine; surgery and obstetrics, passed. An act authorizing the Commission ers of the several counties of thi- Com monwealth, to fix tl,a compensation for light, rent and fue! in election district in their respective counties, passed. BABCOCK'S TBI I'M I'll COMI'LF.TI. A Washington special to the World of 29, says : The spasmodic ebullition of virtue which announced to the hut Cabinet meeting that Babcock was to leave the White House because he had been "indiscreet" appears to have eith er been incorrectly reported or to have ooied out with remarkable rapidi ty. To-day it is announced that the President has decided not to accept Bab cock's resignation, and to-day that worthy appeared in the Senate with a message from the President and the air of a conquering hero. The scene was painfully suggestive. Hardly had the last words fallen from his lips before all the carpet-baggers and questionable characters in the Senate, the Senator with reputations more odious than odor ous, made a grand rush for him. Spen cer aud West were almost the first to seize upon hiu, but were followed speedily by Horsey, Mitchell, Powell i Clayton, and that ilk. Why, even Mor ton dragged himself from his seat to wel come home the returned prodigal. Tin rarua aria gave him a decided ovation, which he received with the gracioui condescension becoming a man whose true inwardness the President has sworn to. Babcock declined the serenade ten dered him this evening hv Shepard A Co. The I'ittaburg l'ost, Hanover Citizen, and several other democratic journals favor Jeremiah S. Black for the presi dency. Grant and Babcock might la the ticket of tlie crooked whiskey ring. Besides the impeachment, which dis qualifies Belknap forever from holding office, the attorney general has been in structed to institute a criminal prosecu tion against him, and should he be found guilty the penalty will be three years imprisonment and a fine of twice the amount of money corruptly received. Lutcher A. Co., merchants, London, failed on 4, Liabilities $2,500,000. Grant's attorney general, l'ierreponf, stopped fellows in the crooked whiskey business from turning state's evidence, j by threatening to prosecute them abo, which threw a damper on the prosecu tion of Babcock and other thieves. Now the administration is attempting the | same game in the Bc-lknap case, and Ims ! ordered proceedings against Marsh, with threats against all others giving state's evidence, in any other cases that may arise—and the committee has more in hand. This is the way Granl will save the rascals, and it is contrary to all us ages. The comments of the London press on the Belknap scandal arc very severe, some of them reflecting severely on the present Administration. A New York paper says "Evedid it Belknap will be indicted by the Grand Jury. The brother of Mr. Evan*, the Fort Si!) trader, has made a statement im plicating General Dent, the President's brother-in-law, and Orville, his brother. Anticipating bis flight the Met-rotary'* hu*e has been placed under police sur veillance.

In DO a more loruial report of the irregularities waa made, w hen Captain Kobinson WAS at once ordered on receiving service at Philadelphia. 11c waa noon after*ant ordered to this city, and nut in com mand of the receiving post here. From 1 Baltimore, during the fatter |>art of D>74. he preferred torpiai charge* of corrup tion against Secretary Belknap, and for warded pnwifs and *|>ecitlcations to President Grant. As a result of this art, he was placed tinder military arrest on I September 11, 1574. It is provided In the act of Uongress that charges must he preferred aguinat an oUpfr f the army within ten iay after his arrest ; failing to do this, it is further provided that he shall intmcdi alely he set ai liberty. Captain Robin son, however, by sjH-cial order of Secre tary Belknap, was put under ( lose ar rest, and no liberty was allowed him, nor were any charges preferred until the following spring, when he was sent to St. I/iuis for trial by a commission or ganized for the avowed purpose of con viction. Belknap was authoritively r jiorted as saying at the time ; "if this commission don't convict Captain Rob inson, then, by , I will fix one that will." The charges at length preferred were of alleged frauds, the preferring of unfounded charges against a superior of ficer, etc. n Genera) Belknap's commission, how- I ever, did its appointed work, anil ( apt. p Robinson was dismissed from the *er r vice. To show the irregnhircharacterof 0 the St. Louis com mission it is necessary 0 only to state that five of its members x were promoted bv (he dismissal of Ca|e f tain Robinson. The articles of war pro vide that an officer shall ha tried only r by his equals or superiors in rank. The o(fi<-era of the army, while cognizant of s Secretary Helknap's corruption, dared not protest nguitist them for fear of the persecution which would at once have I'een instituted. It cannot he doubted that President Grant bus long been fa -1 miliar with the corrupt practices of Gen i era! lielknap. It seems certain that, i save for the investigations of a Demo • (-ratio Congress, the thrifty habits of our i Centennial Secretary of War would have remained hidden for an indefinite peri ' od. Captain Kobinson is about to de mand an investigation of his case by the , military committee of the House, and i to ask for a reinstatement in the service. It is thought that the recent develop ments will encourage the officers of tin army to divulge whatever information they may possess concerning the corrup tion of the War Department, and thus render material aid in purifying the one department of the government which has been thought to be free from blem ish.

Mr Moody said lie would iigiuti icall attention to The New Ilirth. 1 don't know, -aid he, of any other refuge; for a man addicted to *trong drink. I'n less Christ give him a new nature, all hi* good resolution* and hi* effort* to reform! ; t imself w ill he of no avail You can't flnd| anything in Scripture which will justify a mail in the belief lie can reform the flesh. lli* only when the new life i* given bv ! God that be can rc*il temptation. Flesh' ,i* flesh and von cannot improve it. Some 1 one ha* said. "God never mend* anything: lie create* a new." It i* of no ue to go and tell a man he ought to reform; just tell j him to give up trj ing and accept the Lord Jesu* Christ hi* Saviour. God doc* net' nut a new piece into mi old garment.

Why I would just as soon go and eat mud a* go into a saloon and drink. I Have Got Something Better. Sumo say, "Oh, but 1 want something a u stimulant." Suppose you do, you can get better stimulant* than drink.' When thsi Spirit of God All* a man's heait, and he get* thorough acquaintance with his Bible, ho ha* tho bet kind of stimulant. God want* every poor drunkard to be come a partaker of the divine nature. Of course the natural man don't know what we are talking about; we must ho born of God before we receive spiritual strength ; with God's, life in us wcshall overcome. A man who has been intemperate for thirty! year*, and who would drink five glaasei! before breakfast, bus just been reclaimed : he -ay* that all the appetite has been taken sway.
